Hearing Kyriotic Sonship

Michael R. Whitenton, Ph.D. (2015), Baylor University, is a Lecturer at Baylor University. He has published in top journals on cognitive and rhetorical approaches to the gospels and is currently completing Configuring Nicodemus: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Complex Characterization (Bloomsbury, 2018).

"Whitenton’s work moves Markan scholarship forward with its coherent approach to the characterization of Jesus. I would argue that this is a must-read for those engage in intertextual readings of the Gospels. For those interested in performance criticism, whether novice or advanced, Hearing Kyriotic Sonship would be a helpful companion." - Kara Lyons-Pardue, Point Loma Nazarene University, USA"The monograph is a helpful reference on rhetoric, performance, and cognitive approaches, given the breath of Whitenton’s interaction with primary and secondary sources as well as recent scholarship on the subject. Whitenton has provided Markan scholarship with a helpful resource with fresh perspective on the Gospel of Mark’s characterization of Jesus." - Abson Joseph, Wesley Seminary, Indiana Wesleyan University, USA
